I'm not sure what its worth but I paid $450. The 22 vintage drawers and the "Hamilton MFG" pulls add a lot to the value. They normally have dividers in the drawers to hold the type but the guy had removed all the small dividers - he said it was a ton of work to do it. There was a really great oak cabinet in local antique store - it was narrower and taller with slightly deeper drawers but it was priced at $2,800. The best solution I've seen was the cabinets that Richard Sari had built for his wife's collection - her collection has to be one of the best. He showed some photos some time back on the Chip Board. The blueprint cabinet mentioned in the above post was nice but just too big to fit in our house but it is great for all the paper stuff and I got it for free on Craig's List.
